1969 Mercury Cougar Xr7 Base 5.8l on 2040-cars
Lincoln, Nebraska, United States

Selling a 1969 Mercury Cougar XR7. I have a good clear title in my name. the car has not been driven in years and I don't know much about the engine and drivetrain except that is a 351W with air conditioning and an automatic transmission. 9" rearend. It Also has the factory Tach that a lot of cougar enthusiasts are looking for. The undercarriage of the car is very good. Most of the ones i see are rusted out and this still has solid torque boxes and frame rails. Sorry no tilt steering and the window mechanisms were all taken out when I got it. The car is a good candidate for a restoration. The rear quarters have some dents in them as you can see from the pics. Overall I think the car is in good shape. Feel free to ask some questions and I will get back to you as soon as I can. Yes this is the car that was listed a couple of weeks ago. I tried selling it as a package deal with another cougar shell butI had so many offers for this and that and that and this. I just decided to list them separately I probably should have done that the first time. Anyways, What you see is what you get. A good xr7 cougar worthy of restoration with a title. I think 1500 is a fair starting price for a complete car. thanks and I can help you load it on your trailer if I'm around or help a shipper load it but I don't have the time to haul it to you. thanks and have a good day.
Sincerely, Sean |

Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception
Tue, 25 Sep 2012It's hard to think back now, but the same man overseeing the design of the 2013 Ford Fusion also presided over a rather lackluster period in Ford design, highlighted by vehicles like the Five Hundred and Freestyle. With the redesigned Fusion receiving high praise, J Mays tells Automotive News that he feels vindicated from criticisms suggesting he's not a daring enough designer.
When Mays took over as lead of design in 1997, he admits to having quite an ego ("My head would barely fit through the door some days. I've long since gotten over myself") and the workload to match. With the Blue Oval's portfolio full of premium brands like Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo at that point, along with the bread-and-butter Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, Mays certainly had quite the challenge.
It was in the mid-2000s that Mays took over just the premium brands, and took on the new title of Chief Creative Officer. At the time, Mays endured some criticism for looking backwards to retro styling, rather than setting a new standard for American car design - criticism that Mays says he is free from with the all-new Fusion.
Ford recalls Five Hundred, Mercury Montego sedans over fuel tank woes
Mon, 18 Jul 2011Ford has announced through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it is recalling nearly 3,000 examples of its Five Hundred and Mercury Montego (pictured) sedans from the 2007 model year.
The action, which affects 2,945 vehicles, is due to potentially defective welds between the filler neck and the fuel tank, a condition that could result in a fuel leak or the smell of gasoline reaching the occupants. In the worst-case scenario, a leak could cause a fire. Cars with the affected fuel tank problem could see an illuminated dashboard warning light as a result of the evaporative emissions leak being detected.
Ford will inspect and replace the fuel tank at no cost to owners (those who have already had the procedure done at-cost can apply for reimbursement), and the Dearborn automaker will begin notifying Five Hundred and Montego owners beginning August 15. Check out the official NHTSA press release after the jump for further details.
Jill Wagner retired as Mercury spokeswoman
Wed, 17 Nov 2010Jill Wagner has officially given up her crown as the queen of Mercury. With the Ford middle child on its way to the scrap heap, Wagner no longer has any automotive hardware to promote. Given her varied talents, we wouldn't be surprised to see her pick up where she left off with another automaker.
And here you thought you'd never be upset about Mercury's passing.
Thanks for the tip, Gregg!
